There's a town I know called Nevers, 

no Nevers 

never wasn't was what it weren't 


when it wasn't once. Knew Nevers? 

Knew Nevers? 

Nothing never I'll ever learnt. 


There's a village I visit, that's Vaguely; 

Sorta Vaguely. 

vaguely yes I seem to recall. 


though it's unclear clearly- vaguely? 

Very vaguely. 

can't say it's been there once and for all. 


I put back on my overshoes 

and got in my Renault. 

The trips reset so I'm unsure 

how far it is to go:- 

But then it hits me (slap)- 

I've left it off my map! 


There's a city I saw signed Something- 

must be something. 

something never quite so defined, 


so much so how somewhere something 

(though some sing) 

so to speak's the uncertain kind. 


In an index looked up Where-it-was, 

exactly where it was, 

just in fact to make sure I can't 


set a course straight through to where it ain't 

and where it ain't 

ain't gotten to except at a slant. 


I put on my new black boots 

and pack up my Citroen. 

And out of town it huffs and puffs; 

I set off there alone.- 

And then it hits me (slap)- 

I've left it off my map. 


There's a place I passed called once upon a time- 

tiny once upon a time- 

never wasn't weren't what it was. 


Set the clock back twice or once upon a time 

in once upon a time- 

never knew when it wasn't there because
